Rudra-Śiva: Names, Two Natures, and the Logic of Epithets (रुद्रनाम-बहुरूपत्व-प्रकरणम्)
षडिमानि तु कर्माणि प्रोवाच भुवनेश्वर: । वृत्त्यर्थ ब्राह्मणानां वै शृणु धर्मानू सनातनान्
ṣaḍ imāni tu karmāṇi provāca bhuvaneśvaraḥ | vṛttyarthaṃ brāhmaṇānāṃ vai śṛṇu dharmānū sanātanān |
圣摩醯湿伐罗说道：“诸世界之主宣示了这六种职责，作为婆罗门赖以生计之道。且听——此乃为他们而立的古老而恒常的法（Dharma）之律令。”

Educational Q&A
The verse introduces a normative dharma framework: Brahmins are to sustain themselves through a set of six sanctioned duties, presented as ancient and authoritative, aligning livelihood with ethical order rather than arbitrary gain.
Śrī Maheśvara begins an instruction by announcing that the ‘Lord of the worlds’ has prescribed six traditional occupations for Brahmins and invites the listener to hear these enduring dharmic rules.
